News On Batista & Brooke Hogan's Movie, CM Punk WrestleMania XXX Shirt Hits Stores
- Martin Owen's feature film, L.A. Slasher, has recently completed post production. The movie stars Dave Bautista, who plays an iconic drug dealer alongside Danny Trejo (Machete) in search of the next big score.
"I am a lifelong fan of the WWE and of Danny's incredible body of work," said Owen. "Their larger than life presence was exactly what I was looking for. The result was a cinematic partnership that will be long remembered."
Brooke Hogan also appears in the film as a reality T.V. star. Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Mischa Barton (The O.C.), Drake Bell (Drake & Josh), and Tori Black (Not Another Celebrity Movie) also star. The synopsis is below:
Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars, while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them. It is a biting, social satire about reality TV and the glorification of people who are famous for simply being famous, "L.A. Slasher" explores why it has become acceptable and even admirable for people to become influential and wealthy based on no merit or talent – purely through notoriety achieved through shameful behavior.
The opening sequence of the movie was created by the groundbreaking comic book artists, The Pander Brothers. Their artwork has been instrumental in the success of the cult series, Grendel: Devil's Legacy, Batman: City of Light and Exquisite Corpse. Their visual storytelling has been nominated for the Eisner and Manning awards for groundbreaking artwork in the graphic novel medium.
- We noted earlier this month that CM Punk was featured on several WrestleMania XXX t-shirt designs, which were created before he left the company. The shirts have apparently have made their way into stores, as WrestlingINC.com reader @HorsemenReview sent along the photo below of the shirt at a K-Mart in Louisiana.
